The domain data thing you bring up at the end is why I think general AI driven by LLM isn't coming anytime soon and if it does, we should probably smash it with as giant and hard a hammer as we can find.

Here's one way to handle the tech skills shortage: IT functions are increasingly being delivered and maintained by hybrid pros with one foot in the business and the other in technology. "The horror! The horror!"
If that isn't inspiration to get ahead of "citizen developers" on AI, I don't know what might be.
Of course, it's probably also inspiration for early retirement.

IMO, this is a good thing.
Getting everyone more involved needed to have happened a long time ago.
Everyone should be a programmer. Not really, but you should probably know a thing or two.
I think you look at many things, compromises, hacks, scams, cambridge analytica, "bad" AI...
So much would not have the possibility of ever being so bad if people just knew a little bit more in general about tech.

Aligned interest of self preservation is only generally reliable, and only if people recognize there's any threat to begin with.

In this episode of "How to make Windows 11 more annoying," Microsoft is bringing new Start menu ads to all users. If you start up the ads, they'll never stop

This is the story of how Google Search died, and the people responsible for killing it. They found him
A little long, but amusing in the volume of vitriol (and I'm sorry for those offended by the strong words he uses)

No need to be it. If someone can get offended, he / she can stop reading after the first he / she finds

I shifted to DuckDuckGo years ago, and it sounds like I shifted right as Google started self-destructing.

So did I. However, about once a month on average I try a search with few results and I resort to google. I try very hard to avoid that.

Barely a mention of how Google Search censors results, and here I was naively thinking it would be one of the main points.

Like they censor all of the rest of the results: by making them impossible to find!

Q: Where do you hide the dead body on the internet?
A: On the second page of Google Search results.

The new rules extend a product's guarantee if it breaks under warranty, while obliging manufacturers to repair devices no longer covered. You can finally get that ZX Spectrum fixed
For a "reasonable" price. "Reasonable" to whom?

Signs point to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite processors showing up in actual, real-world, human-purchasable computers in the next couple of months after years of speculation and another year or so of hype. Because Intel Inside is so 90s

It depends... does it already have a output pin for advertisement and an input one for data slurping?

For me to invest in an ARM based desktop, one essential requirement is that it must be able to do all I want with then network cable unplugged. Unless, of course, I want it to do something network related (but then we are talking about network activity completely under my control).
A second, unrelated requirement: Provided I have a case with a power supply, a modern graphics card, 32 GB of RAM, 33 TB of spinning disk and 4 TB of USB5 compatible M.2 disk, I can buy a new mobo and move all the stuff over. I don't want a completely new set of hardware and interface standards! I guess ARM-based cards with SATA, PCIe, M.2, standard PS and other relevant standards will come, but I do not expect it this year. Maybe not even next year. When it arrives (with a reasonable number of alternative), I will certainly consider the options.
